wild man

At that moment, a hurried footsteps could be heard outside the door, followed swiftly by the voice of a waiter at the entrance: "Miss, who are you looking for... you can't come in..."

Soon after, a woman's cold voice cut in: "Move aside!"

A figure quickly emerged from behind the screen. Ye Chong followed the sound and couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart at the sight.

In fact, there was only one type of person who wouldn't be moved by seeing that woman: someone who wasn't truly bold!

She was dressed in a blue and white cheongsam with a high collar, revealing a hint of fair thighs, exuding an extremely enchanting and alluring charm. Her long hair, like a pool of water, was piled up, her skin was as fair as snow, her temples sharp as a knife's edge, her lips like vermillion, her eyebrows delicate like willows. Her slender eyes narrowed slightly, unable to hide the sharpness within, beneath her beautiful appearance lay an unparalleled genetic anomaly!

She was like a flaming rose, incredibly seductive yet filled with the thorns of arrogance.

She was like a strong liquor, clear and transparent in appearance, fresh and distant in scent, but when drunk, it could make one shed tears.

With her appearance, the room gained a mysterious and unpredictable chemical effect.

Her sharp gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one, finally settling on Tan Yaozong.

At this moment, Tan Yaozong appeared somewhat shocked, flustered, and even embarrassed. He took a few steps forward to the woman, wanting to smile but forgetting how to: "Xuechi, you... how did you come..."

The woman met his cold gaze and asked calmly, "Yaozong, what's going on here?"

"This... this... oh, just having a meal with some friends." His words were obviously lacking in confidence. In front of this young woman, the noble young master of the Tan family unexpectedly lost his masculinity.

"Just having a meal? Is it that simple?"

Tan Yaozong's complexion turned pale and uncertain: "Hehe, of course, you came at the right time. Among the guests here, you should have heard of our famous Xu family. Let me introduce them to you..."

The woman interrupted him decisively: "No need, I'm the only outsider here."

"Xuechi, why are you saying this... I..."

Before he could finish his words, the woman suddenly gave him a resounding slap.

Smack!

This slap stunned Tan Yaozong, leaving five bright red handprints on his face.

"Xuechi, you..."

The woman didn't give him a chance to speak, raising her fair hand and giving Tan Yaozong more than a dozen slaps in front of everyone. In the end, his mouth was bleeding, and his handsome face was swollen.

But he showed no sign of anger, nor did he attempt to retaliate, just staring blankly at her.

After finishing, the woman didn't spare him another glance, swiftly leaving without looking back, as if she were a gust of wind.

Seeing this, even Ye Chong was shocked. This girl was too fiery. She didn't even blink when slapping someone like Tan Yaozong. How satisfying and powerful it was.

But... I like this temperament!

Tan Yaozong was undoubtedly extremely embarrassed. Even the old man with a thin figure looked very embarrassed. He smiled coldly, with a hint of sarcasm: "Brother Changqing, I always thought I could trust you, but I didn't expect you and your daughter to join hands and perform such a wonderful drama to trap me."

"Tianchou, you've misunderstood..."

"Humph, Brother Changqing, we're both old. We've seen everything and been through everything. We're both experienced old doctors. Don't try to prescribe me any unconventional medicine. Today, my father and I have lost face in front of you. You should be satisfied now. Humph, Yaozong, let's go." He said no more, striding away.

Tan Yaozong looked coldly at Xu Menglin, "Miss Xu, I don't blame you, but your actions have really embarrassed us. Remember this: Haitian isn't just the Xu family!"

He glanced meaningfully at Ye Chong and left the banquet hall with large steps.

Crack!

Xu Changqing grabbed a teacup and smashed it to pieces, "I don't care who this kid is, just get rid of him immediately. I don't want to see him again."

Xu Menglin took the initiative to hold the man's hand, "His name is Ye Chong, and he is now my fiancé. We will marry soon. If you don't want to see him, it's the same as not wanting to see me."

"You... you... I've raised you so painstakingly, I don't expect much from you as a girl, I just hope you can marry a good man. What's wrong with Tan Yaozong? In terms of family background, who doesn't know the reputation of the Tan family in Haitian? In terms of ability, he is also a talented young man in his prime. He is already the boss of a listed company at such a young age. In terms of appearance, he is definitely one of the top diamond bachelors. How many daughters of prestigious families in Haitian dream of marrying him? This time, Old Master Tan personally came to propose for his son, which shows how much they value you. You... you... actually..."

"You think he's perfect, but I think he's pathetic. At least his character makes it impossible for us to even be friends. I've always been like this since I was a child. I make my own decisions, and even if I'm wrong, I never regret."

"Can marriage be wrong? By then, even if you want to regret it, it will be too late. I am experienced, I see clearer than you, what is most important for a woman in her life, the most important thing is to marry the right man."

"What is right and what is wrong, who can predict the future? How do you know that Tan Yaozong must be right and Ye Chong must be wrong?"

"You're talking nonsense! I don't want to say more to you. In short, as your father, I should have the final say. Whether you like it or not, you are destined to marry Tan Yaozong!"

Xu Menglin sneered, "Since you don't want to say more, I have only one sentence: I've already decided to marry this man!"

She grabbed Ye Chong's arm and began to walk away. Xu Changqing stomped his foot in anger, "Xu Menglin, oh Xu Menglin, it's a shame that you're my daughter, it's a shame that you've received an elite education, yet you're doing such disgraceful things, you've brought shame upon the Xu family. If you dare to marry this bastard, then I no longer have a daughter like you, I can't bear to have such a person, damn it!"

Xu Menglin slowly turned around, her face as pale as paper, "Dad, what did you say?"

"As the daughter of Xu Changqing, you should marry a decent man, not go outside like picking up trash and randomly pick up wild men!"

Xu Menglin bit her lip hard, almost drawing blood, "I understand now, so this is what you think of me, from your mouth, your own daughter can be described in such a way."

She nodded, then added, "But don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Tan Tianchou is about to run for mayor of Haitian. You want me to marry his son simply to gain a political guarantee for your own business. Unfortunately, your calculations were wrong. You got everything right, but you got the most critical part wrong, because you didn't calculate that your daughter is not someone who will compromise to anyone, or be used by anyone."

"You... you... how dare you say I'm using you?"

"Whether what I said is right or wrong, you know it best in your heart. I won't repeat what I just said. I will make decisions according to my own will, I don't need others to dictate to me. If you insist on cutting ties with the Xu family, then it's up to you, but nothing and no one can influence me."

Xu Menglin was about to leave when suddenly Xu Jianfeng roared, "Stop!"

He bypassed the table and came step by step in front of her, pointing his finger at her, "Xu Menglin, what you said to dad just now was too much."

"Jianfeng, what are you doing..." Speaking to her tough father could be argued with reason, but facing her beloved brother whom she had cherished since childhood, she was somewhat flustered for a moment.

Xu Jianfeng forcefully grabbed his sister's shoulder, causing Xu Menglin to frown in pain, "Let me tell you, in my eyes, Dad is like the heavens, what he says is like divine will, I don't care whether you think it's right or wrong, but I won't allow you to disrespect him like that. If you weren't my sister, I would have slapped you dead, understand?"

Xu Menglin looked at her brother blankly, as if she didn't recognize him, "Jianfeng, are you... are you going to hit me? Alright, if you think it's necessary, then go ahead and hit me."

With that, she closed her eyes quietly.

"What's the matter, you've always loved to play the victim since childhood, and you're doing it again now. You think I dare not? For you, this unfilial wretch, today I must teach you a lesson for Dad!" He actually raised his hand.

Xu Menglin didn't even flinch, only two clear tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes.

Just as Xu Jianfeng's hand was about to fall, it was suddenly grasped by a hand as strong as an iron clamp, a pain that pierced to the bone made him release his grip.

He raised his head and saw the face of the man whom he couldn't stand no matter what.

He still remembered clearly the last time he saw that face, how humble and weak it was, but now, it brought him an unprecedented sense of oppression, brutality, and unease...

Yes, and fear!

Ye Chong lightly shook his hand, actually flinging Xu Jianfeng several meters away, his entire body slamming onto the dining table, flipping it over, and various precious wines and dishes fell to the ground with a crash.

Xu Menglin covered her mouth with the back of her hand, hardly daring to believe what she was seeing. Her strong-willed father also stared blankly, his brain repeatedly short-circuiting, completely unprepared for the blatant violation of his precious son by that "wild man."

Just as Xu Jianfeng struggled to get up, he suddenly felt a tightness around his neck, and his body was sent back to his previous position. His legs straightened, and he knelt in front of Xu Menglin.

Ye Chong's eyes were cold as knives, holding Xu Jianfeng's neck with one hand, forcing his face to face Xu Menglin's face, then spoke word by word, "Look at her."

Xu Jianfeng seemed unable to face her, turning his face away.

Ye Chong twisted his neck with a click, making Xu Jianfeng's face turn to Xu Menglin's face, his voice coming from hell, "If you dare to defy me again, I'll snap your neck right away!"

Xu Jianfeng's whole body was ice-cold, involuntarily turning his eyes to his sister.

Ye Chong said coldly, "In theory, you are my brother-in-law, and generally, a brother-in-law should be closer to his sister-in-law than his own son, but you, this bastard, really pissed me off. Even if you kneel down and call me dad now, I won't agree."

"Bastard, let go of my son..." Xu Changqing, who had just come back to his senses, shouted loudly.

It's been many years since Ye Chong went mad like this, but anyway, he now raised his unruly brows, disdainfully not bothering to use his pupils to look at that person, "If you don't want your son to die, shut up, this bastard has been spouting shit for half a day, but at least one sentence deeply resonated with me. If you weren't my wife's father, damn it, I would have slapped you dead long ago."
